In Peppa Pig’s Big Splash, the nursery roof is leaking and
Peppa and her friends need to fix it quickly. They set up a fair to
raise money so Mr. Bull can do the repairs. There’s plenty of fun to be
had as Peppa, George, Mummy and Daddy Pig, along with Danny Dog, Pedro
Pony and Suzy Sheep work together to organize an exciting day out
complete with a Champion Puddle Jumping competition judged by Mr.
Potato, where everyone gets wet! An interactive experience full of
singing, dancing, games, and muddy puddles, Peppa Pig’s Big Splash
is a guaranteed blast for preschoolers and their parents alike!
Peppa Pig’s popularity continues to soar in the U.S.

Us, Walmart and Target, where hundreds of Peppa products have taken over
shelves. Peppa is also a star on social media, connecting each day with

George, Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig. Peppa’s favorite things include playing
games, dressing up, spending days outdoors, and jumping in muddy
